By this time in history, technology had progressed as much during the 30 years since [[1985]] as it had during the previous 30 years from [[1955]] to [[1985]]. Electronics were in virtually everything from clothing to garbage cans to make them move, talk and/or make electronic noises.

[[Hover conversion|Flying cars]], once they were invented and perfected, had become so common that drivers no longer needed roads — except perhaps for short journeys. [[Skyway]]s dominated the skies of central [[California]] and eventually the entire world. Cultural influences from other countries, particularly [[Japan]], were more often seen in food and clothing.

Life was lived at a quicker pace than before, in evidence by the speed that people walked down the street, the time it took to cook dinner, and the swiftness of [[data-court|court]] trials.

[[Hill Valley]] underwent a period of gentrification, or revitalization of its downtown.

In ''[http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Back_to_the_Future_Part_II Back to the Future Part II]'', while [[Doc Brown]] (dad of [[Jules Brown|Jules]] and [[Verne Brown]], husband of [[Clara Clayton Brown]]) takes care of an unconsious [[Jennifer Parker]], [[Marty McFly]] lands into the water after using a [http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Hoverboard hoverboard] during the chase, managing to escape from [http://backtothefuture.wikia.com/wiki/Griff_Tannen Griff Tannen] and his gang, and as a result, they crash into the courthouse and end up in jail, thus preventing the robbery for which [[Martin McFly, Jr.|Marty Jr.]] would have been jailed.

It should be noted however that 2015 encountered by the DeLorean is presented as only one possible future. Some events such as Marty getting into an automobile accident in 1985 as well as him being fired from his office job in 2015 are explicitly shown to have been averted by the end of [[Back to the Future Part III|''Back to the Future Part III''.]] Whether the rest of 2015 was altered as a result remains to be seen. It is also possible that Doc and Marty's activities in [[1885]] had long-term effects that were still too subtle to be noticed when Marty returned to 1985, but which fanned out and caused significant historical changes between 1985 and 2015. Examples must remain purely hypothetical, but one could for instance imagine that the great-grandmother and great-grandfather of the person who would invent anti-gravity devices in the 1990s met on a train in [[1886]]. However, since the locomotive that would pull said train was stolen and destroyed by Marty and Doc already one year earlier, an entire family line faded from history. The inventor of anti-gravity devices was never born. Such hypothetical scenarios could explain why we are currently living in a 2015 without hoverboards and flying cars.

Hill Valley's Courthouse Square in 2015.

2015 is a year in the 21st century.

On October 21, 2015, one hour before his past self would arrive with Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker, Dr. Emmett Brown went back in time to prevent a nuclear holocaust in 2045.

A new timeline was created, and most things that they originally witnessed in 2015 never existed.

Original timeline

By this time in history, technology had progressed as much during the 30 years since 1985 as it had during the previous 30 years from 1955 to 1985. Electronics were in virtually everything from clothing to garbage cans to make them move, talk and/or make electronic noises.

Flying cars, once they were invented and perfected, had become so common that drivers no longer needed roads — except perhaps for short journeys. Skyways dominated the skies of central California and eventually the entire world. Cultural influences from other countries, particularly Japan, were more often seen in food and clothing.

Life was lived at a quicker pace than before, in evidence by the speed that people walked down the street, the time it took to cook dinner, and the swiftness of court trials.

Hill Valley underwent a period of gentrification, or revitalization of its downtown. With an increased concern for the environment, the Courthouse Square was landscaped with a large artificial lake (with the surrounding road having NO LANDING markings applied to dissuade drivers of flying cars from bringing their vehicles down near the lake), and businesses were brought back with the construction of an underground Courthouse Mall.

         After picking up several new copies of the first issue of Action Comics in 1938, Doc returns to an unknown time in 2015 where he sells one of the comics. He then uses the discount he won to get a hover conversion by Goldie Wilson III, has his DeLorean outfitted with a Mr Fusion, and establishes a fake identity under the name Leroy Brown.

    • Wednesday, October 21:
      • After changing the timeline where Biff ran Hill Valley, and refusing to race Needles in 1985, the fax machine no longer prints that Marty McFly was fired from his job on this date, as Jennifer Parker witnessed the words being erased in 1985.
    • Date unknown: After being accidentally sent to 1885, where he settled to raise a family, Doc managed to create a steam time car, which he used to travel from 1893 to 2035. He then traveled in his temporal field generator Mk II from 2035 to 2015 to pick up a Mr. Fusion. After this, he took the Mr. Fusion back with him to 1985, and installed it in the second DeLorean time machine.

  • Timeline 5:
    • Note: The following section is considered non-canon or is disputed in canonicity.
      Wednesday, July 15: Microsoft's failed visions of the future were actually a success, leading to an alternate timeline where Microsoft's failed digital assistants, Clippy and Microsoft Bob, were now holograms that controlled everything.

Actuality

  • In 2015, in real life, there were no widely-produced flying cars, auto-adjusting and auto-drying jackets, power-lacing shoes, etc. Nike had produced prototype power-lacing shoes, there were prototype flying cars, such as the Transition road-able aircraft by Terrafugia, and Falyon Wearable Tech created a prototype auto-drying jacket. However, none of these will be shipping commercially until 2016. Another flying car, the Terrafugia TF-X, is planned for release in 2021.
  • In reality, in 2015, the basic concept of watching multiple channels at once, as exhibited by Marty Jr., technically existed. Televisions offered picture-in-picture functionality and various satellite TV packages offering overviews of certain groups of channels based on genre – like sports or family channels – which could be viewed all at once. Some smart TVs also supported simple voice commands which allow the viewer to control functions such as turning the TV on and off, changing channels, accessing apps, and navigating the internet.
  • Almost all of the billboards shown around Courthouse Square are holographic billboards, which were yet to be widely adopted in reality. The technology required to produce such displays was still in its infancy in 2015.
